Grosgrain Archives

I love fabrics that POP when you put them together. They have the ability to turn a plain white tee shirt and jeans into an outfit. The Pleated Poppy (I love that name!) is one of those shops that offers those little baubles that completes an outfit.

Lindsey Cheney, owner of The Pleated Poppy. Is offering Grosgrain readers the chance to win a checkbook cover and set of posy pins from her online store.These sets of posy pins are handmade and unique, made with 2 to 6 different fabrics, topped by a covered button and finished off in the back with a silver one inch bar pin. They look great on a shirt, pinned to a bag, as a gift topper... be creative!

With these adorable checkbook cover, paying bills seams a bit more, umm, enjoyable? There are 2 pockets - one for your checkbook and another for a register or maybe receipts.My personal favorite is this crayon roll. It comes with 16 crayola crayons. It is small and compact and great for the car or restaurant. It ties closed with a coordinating ribbon.

But I also love these four covered notebooks each have a removable cover. The cover can be refilled with a standard size composition notebook.Each notebook cover comes with a composition notebook, a ribbon tie closure, and an inside pocket to hold 3 pens/pencils. Great for school, doodling, and list making!

Lindsey spends her days as a stay-at-home mom of three, 5 and under.

She homeschools her first grader and 3 year old 3 days a week. So up to her insanity level she started a crafty business out of her home, so she could contribute financially for her family and still be with my kids....and have a better excuse to craft more often!

She makes lots of different items, from fabric flower brooches to superhero capes, crayon rolls to zippered pouches.... lots of items great for gifting or treating yourself.As usual, if you would like a chance to win this this checkbook cover and set of posy pins just link back to this post.If you have any questions see the "questions and answers" link to the right.
